Everybody’s got Issues

Like all the other Faith,Dope,and Clarity poems, this was written in rehab and the early months of my recovery. Like most of the other poems this one has dope references in it. It might help you understand a little easier if I explain that an issue is a hypodermic needle. When I was in the Central Valley I came across someone who asked me for an issue. I asked what that was and they told me. I asked why they were called that and I was told,”Because everybody has issues”, it made sense to me, also a “Bump” is a tiny amount of dope to keep you going until the next shot. The following was written like a letter to my ex.
